AfriBED is a newly released speech recognition bias evaluation dataset focused on two low‑resource African languages, Bemba and Nyanja. It contains 9 hours of Bemba speech from 80 speakers (3,928 utterances) and about 18 hours of Nyanja speech from 127 speakers (6,260 utterances). Baseline experiments show the data can be used to detect and quantify gender and speaker‑type bias in ASR systems for these languages.
